Privacy Policy

PingBack has no servers of its own. It never sends your data to us, never sells it, and runs no analytics or tracking. The one exception is Chrome's own account sync, described below. That is data moving between your devices through your Google account, controlled entirely by Chrome, not a transfer to us.

What PingBack stores

PingBack saves the follow-up reminders you create. Each saved item contains only what you provide or what the current tab exposes when you add it:

• The page URL and title of the tab you were on.
• A short note or the text you selected, capped at 300 characters.
• A “who / where” label, which defaults to the site's domain.
• The timestamps needed to manage reminders, including creation, due, and last-notified times.
• Whether you marked the item as resolved.

Where it is stored

This information is stored in your browser's extension storage using chrome.storage.sync, with an automatic fallback to chrome.storage.local if sync is unavailable or full.

If you are signed into Chrome with sync enabled, Chrome may replicate this data across your own devices through your Google account. That process is handled entirely by Chrome. PingBack does not operate or communicate with its own server.

What PingBack does not do

• No network requests from PingBack's own code. PingBack makes zero calls to any server. Chrome Sync may separately replicate your reminders according to your Chrome settings.
• No inbox or account access. PingBack does not read your email, messages, or account data. It stores only reminders you explicitly create.
• No analytics, telemetry, advertising, or tracking.
• No remote code. All extension code is included in the installed package.

Permissions and why they exist

• contextMenus — adds the right-click “remind me about this in…” option.
• activeTab + scripting — reads selected text from the active page only when you use “Use selection” or a PingBack context-menu command.
• storage — saves your reminders.
• alarms — checks periodically for reminders that are due.
• notifications — displays reminder notifications.
• favicon — displays site icons using Chrome's built-in favicon cache without contacting the site.

Your data, your control

You can delete individual reminders from the PingBack popup. Removing the extension deletes data stored in chrome.storage.local. Synced entries are handled by Chrome according to your sync settings.
